Is Star Citizen's new server meshing tech plagiarized? (lemmy.haigner.me)

Sorry if this is not the right place to ask, but am I the only one who thinks that Star Citizen's new server meshing technology is an old hat? I believe it's the same technology that a few highly scalable Minecraft servers have been using for years. WorldQL introduced this back in 2021, but I think the idea was around even earlier than that. GrieferGames has also put this into practice.

I'm impressed that most people here chose to fight about the definition of the word plagiarism instead of discussing how Star Citizen's server meshing technology differs from what WorldQL and GrieferGames do. Have fun, but that wasn't the point of my post.

Plagiarism is obviously a word with very strong negative connotations. If you want to discuss the technology and it's differences between a different solution that tries to solve the same problem and not accuse someone of stealing, it's usually best not to use this type of language in general.

Yep, that is true. Sorry about that.
